<h3>Project description:</h3>
<ol class="round">
    <li class="one">
        <h5>Configuration Page</h5>
        You can create a conection string and then select a cube on the @Html.ActionLink("Configuration", "Configuration") page.
    </li>

    <li class="two">
        <h5>Options Page</h5>
        You can specify MDX settings on the @Html.ActionLink("Options", "MdxDesignerSetting") page.
    </li>

    <li class="three">
        <h5>Mdx Designer</h5>
        You can access MDX designer on the @Html.ActionLink("MDX Designer", "PivotTable") page. There are three javascript methods for initializing MDX designer:
        <ul class="methods">
            <li>
                SetConnectionString
            </li>
            <li>
                Init
            </li>
            <li>
                SetMdxDesignerSettings
            </li>
        </ul>
        <p>First we call SetConnectionString for creating an OLAP connection. Then to specify cubes and connection string and connection Id we use init method.
        To specify settings for the MDX designer we use the third method.
        </p>
        For simplicity we use the setTimeout to call above functions but we can also change the Ranet.UITest.AnalysisApp.Silverlight project to handle events or callback.
    </li>
</ol>

 Have fun :-)
